Harry,
My only question is were you lying today or were you lying on July 20,2002 when you said: Harry Krause wrote: My heritage? You mean my Russian-Polish-Ukrainian-and-possibly-German (the borders moved a lot) grandparents? "Harry Krause" wrote in message ... It's just another Smithers' lie. I was born in Connecticut, my mother was born in Massachusetts and my father was born in Pennsylvania. I was reared in Connecticut. If you want to call me a "Yankee," or a "Yankee-American," that would be appropriate. One member of my family has some ancestors who arrived on these shores from Great Britain, Ireland, and Germany in the 1700s and 1800s, while other ancestors were already here - they were Native Americans, as it were. And since the Native Americans supposed came across the Bering Straits, why that makes that relative of Russian heritage, I suppose. There's no doubt about Smithers' heritage, of course. He's purebred Assho*e American. -- 20 January 2009: The End of an Error. |

Harry,
Do your grandparents know you either made up their family history or now disavow their family history? Is it possible that both stories are a lie? I can see why you don't allow your posts to be archived. "Lord Reginald Smithers" The fastest and most accurate Gun in the World wrote in message ...
